Something for parents to think about..." ===== Kim Jones Kim, I couldn't agree more. I think the whole planet needs to slow down and realize some common sense. I will say this...when I was in Korea...it was still common that when sick...one work a mask to cover one's mouth and nose so one wouldn't spread the contagion. Is that still done there? I remember seeing that quite a bit when I was there in 84-85. I first thought they had a lot of TB in the country...until I learned that it an Asian practice to wear the mask even when you have a cold or flu. Damn considerate if you ask me! Wish I could atleast convince my countrymen here to do the same....but everyone is soooo fashion concious...it just won't fly. They'd rather spread the joy of their illness than risk looking anything less than perfect. John Hancock ************** Heehehehehehehe... if I HAD one, I'd be wearing it now... you actually see more of these in the winter time. It has yet to get cold enough to see these in large frequency... As far as TB goes, it's surprising to find out how many people actually end up showing signs of the strain through the TB testing. It surprises me even more that I haven't shown positive on any tests despite the fact I lived here for 7 years the first time and am here for an additional year. Those white "ajushi" masks are actually quite good for wearing during the winter season anywhere as it prevents your nose and mouth from freezing altogether if you decide to be a die-hard like myself and go running. I could have really used one when I was in GA running, and I know I'll need one for the mile runs during P.E. in a while. As far as TKD training... if you want to train outside during the winter months, that's your perogative... but I guess it'd be as useful... your ki'ap would just be muffled. :) ===== Kim Jones (ladytimberland@yahoo.com) Webpage - http://members.tripod.com/NekoChan00/ AOL IM - OmegaKage IcQ - 46316779 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

I thin term You are looking for is ty dolyo chagi. It's is pronounced like "tue dolyo chaki" (for Americans). You turn 360 degree, and make contact with the "point" of the heel (not the side, not chukdo) to the side of opponent's head. But: This is explycitly _not_ a "hook" kick; a hook kick is aimed at the back of opponent's head by snapping in with the lower leg at the right time. The maximun force of ty dolyo chagi is reached at the cheek of the opponent; teh direction of force is towards the other cheek. Cheers, Andi (john@hapkido.de) P.S. But often there are many manes for the same kick. | I'm looking for the Korean term for a kick that is referred to as a | spinning heel kick, or back hook kick.

Date: Fri, 1 Oct 1999 13:07:26 -0400 Subject: the_dojang: re: Korean term/Emil J. Fisk My US Tang Soo Do Moo Duk Kwan "Manual for Gups" (Okay, I am showing my age) indicates that a "back spinning kick" is Dwi Dull Ryo Cha Gi............. Now, the way I would interpret it: Yup Hu Ri Gi - is listed as a "side hook kick" Yup = side I believe Ri Gi is more of a stretching kick, so we should use Cha Gi, which is a snapping kick This gives us Hu Cha Gi Add the turn, we would have Dwi Dull Ryo Hu Cha Gi This is only an educated guess, so please bear with me if I have intrepreted anything wrong!
